Dual Monitor Vs Curved Ultrawide

Long story short: analysis paralysis. Wanted the Apple XDR, but refuse to spend the money on it as I no longer edit professionally. I wanted an ultrawide flat, and refused to evaluate curved monitors. I was an architectural photo/video pro in a past life, straight lines were critical. I caught a couple of good reviews about this monitor on YT, so I did some digging. I considered going with 2x 27s, but that would have been overkill. Then apple came out with the new 27 Pro Display and that would have priced me out. So I landed at this ViewSonic. You already know the screen space is massive. Where this monitor crushes is color fidelity and the other important features. It's dead quiet, its colorful, its customizable, it's got tons of i/o, it's lightweight, and it's been highly reliable. I have it connected to a 2018 MBP through eGPU (that sometimes gives me hell) but otherwise, this monitor connects with ease. If you are on the fence between this and ANY other curved equivalent, consider this monitor from ViewSonic. I was pleasantly surprised. I nearly bought the new LG ultrawide before acquiring this, and I have zero regrets. Is it perfect? No. But, sub $1500, this monitor is a pleasure to sit behind for long business days, and fun post-production projects on my weekends.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just purchased this monitor and at first I was disappointed. There weren't clear direction or drivers in the materials enclosed with the monitor. Once I found the manual and the drivers at the website, everything smoothed out. The monitor has a very sharp picture and is a little smaller than the dual monitors I used to have. The additional contrast makes up for that but after looking at my daughter's dual curved monitor setup, I think I will eventually get another 34" monitor. This monitor is powered with an ASUS AMD Radeon RX 5700 Overclocked 8G GDDR6 Dual Fan EVO Edition HDMI DisplayPort Gaming Graphics Card. The display is easy to read, but I will get a curved monitor in the future even though I have had no trouble reading the edges of the monitor. I have had very good experience with LG electronics in the past and added this monitor and an M-Disk Blueray-DVD writer to my current build for that reason. The monitor has a stable stand and has more adjustment than I needed (Vertical and tilt). It has a handy joy stick control in the bottom center of the monitor for quick video adjustments. If you don't have the money to get a curved monitor, I recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The LG DUAL UP is a great monitor. I used to use a curved MSI 32" monitor. I decided to get the LG DUAL UP and it is perfect for me to design and be a software developer.

I used my son's computer with a curved monitor. I realized how much better it is that trying to use dual monitors. I use dual monitors for work and find that I am constantly looking to one side or the other. Making my neck hurt. I also hated moving things from monitor to monitor and never being able to view anything right in front of me. I don't know why I didn't think of trying one sooner. This monitor is great. Awesome picture. I am currently using this mainly for work. I will be planning to get a better computer for games and crafting. I was using a 22 and and 24 monitor. This 34 curved is perfect for what I need. The R1800 curve is the right amount for me.

I've been using the Dell UltraSharp 38 1600p Curved Monitor for a few weeks now, and it has exceeded all my expectations. The expansive 38-inch curved display immerses you in your work or entertainment, providing a truly panoramic viewing experience. The 1600p resolution delivers stunning clarity and sharpness, making everything from text to images look incredibly detailed. One of the standout features of this monitor is its color accuracy. With 100% sRGB and 99% Rec709 color coverage, colors are vibrant and true to life, which is essential for my photo and video editing work. The factory calibration ensures that the colors are spot-on right out of the box. The curved design is not just aesthetically pleasing but also functional. It reduces eye strain and provides a more natural field of view, which is particularly beneficial during long working sessions. The build quality is top-notch, with a sleek, premium finish that complements any workspace. Connectivity options are plentiful with USB-C, HDMI, and DisplayPort inputs, making it easy to connect multiple devices. The USB-C port also supports power delivery, which is a great convenience for charging my laptop while using the monitor. Ergonomics are well thought out, with adjustable height, tilt, and swivel options, ensuring that I can set up the monitor for maximum comfort. The on-screen display menu is intuitive and easy to navigate, allowing for quick adjustments to settings. In summary, the Dell UltraSharp 38 1600p Curved Monitor is a fantastic investment for anyone looking to upgrade their display setup. Whether you're a creative professional or simply want an outstanding monitor for general use, this model delivers in every aspect. Highly recommended!

Bought 8 for our office. Using the grommet-mount for some and the edge-mount for others. Works with our 34" curved ultrawide monitors despite their weight exceeding official limits. The mount isn't tall enough to rotate the ultrawides into portrait orientation though. The users love the adjustability and silver look that matches our furniture. Here's a suggestion for the next generation mount. Make it possible to route cables through the desk grommet while also using the grommet mount.

I had hesitation to get a curved monitor, but took the chance and happy that I did.

Holds my 35\ Ultrawide monitor (Acer Z35P) with ease."

Holds a heavy, ultra-wide, curved monitor very well.

Hard to beat a good ViewSonic monitor. This might be the best value at 1080P 165hz! If it's anything like my past VS monitors, it'll last you 10+ years!
